Melbourne Dental School
Thank you for accepting a student from the Melbourne Dental School.
We will send you a Vocational Placement Letter Agreement (VPLA) prior to the placement if you do not currently have an overarching Student Placement Agreement with the University of Melbourne. This is to ensure insurance coverage and an overall agreement of the responsibilities shared by you as the placement provider and the Melbourne Dental School as the education provider. Please contact dental-timetable@unimelb.edu.au if you do not have an agreement in place.
It is best to prepare early for your students’ arrival. The staff at Melbourne Dental School are here to assist you with integration of students into your workplace.
Via email, the school will send you the list of students who you can expect at an upcoming placement.
In particular, for any administrative support, including student schedules, orientation, agreements, pre-placement requirements and day-to-day operations, please contact the Scheduling and Clinical Placement Coordinator via dental-timetable@unimelb.edu.au.
For student teaching and learning outcomes and objectives, supervisor preparation, clinical discussions and student feedback and assessment, please contact dental-timetable@unimelb.edu.au.

Before placement
It’s a good idea to start planning early for your student’s first day, as there are a few things you may need to organise.
-
During placement
It’s important that both you and your student understand each other’s expectations early on. We consider these placements as important learning activities that help to transition students into the workplace.
-
Conclusion of placement
At the conclusion of a student placement with your organisation, please submit your student feedback forms via the desired method.
